The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the breath of morning 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 where then are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
